  • The home button on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. is not responding, any ideas?

    The title kinda says it all, I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen., that I have had for almost 2 years. And it has worked wonderfully, up until a few day ago, when I noticed that the home button was getting harder and harder to push on. and then earlier today it just stopped working all together. To exit out of an app, I had to stut off the iPod and restart it again.
    I have considered sending it to Apple, but at, $105 (estimated) I was wondering if there was any other ways to fix the problem. And I'm not even sure if it's a problem with the hardware, or the software.
    Thanks!

  • The sleep and home button on my iPod touch 4th gen have stopped working.

    Its been past a year since ive had it but i bought warranty from walmart and I was wondering if walmart would fix it? or should i go to the apple store and ask them?

    If you have a Walmart warranty and did not purhase the extended AppleCare warranty fvia Walmart, then go back to Walmart.
    If AppleCare, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. 
    - If out of warranty, yu can also go to the Apple store. It is free for Apple to look at it.
    Have you tried restoring your iPod? Maybe you just have a software problem?

  • The home button on my ipod touch 4th genereation is jammed and i cant press it. What should i do?

    The home button on my ipod touch 4th generation, that i have had for a year now, is jammed. When i go to click it to go to the home screen it doesnt push in. I am not sure how it happened because one moment i pressed it and it was fine and the next it somehow got jammed. I dont know whether i should just buy a new one or if i should send it in for repairs. The thing is that i dont want to send it in for repair and get it back to have the same thing keep happening to me. It has been starting to get slow and close out of apps randomly also. What should i do?

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck, iPod Touch 4th Generation Home button semi-stuck

    Hi,
    this is my first post here.
    My iPod touch 4th gen has been experiencing some problems with the home button lately. The home button is semi stuck. It works but I have to press it really lightly at times and really hard at other times. I don't know what happened. I let my little brother play with it for a day, and when he returned it to me it was like this. I tried recalibrating it but it was no good. I would try the alcohol method, but there's no alcohol allowed in my house. I tried asking my parents to get me a swab for this purpose and they refused lol. Should I try using a wet q-tip around the home button? Or should I try using my vacuum cleaner's pipe suction things on the usb port thing while holding down the home button? Any and all help is appreciated

  • HT201412 Held Sleep & Home buttons on my iPod Touch (1st Gen.) during restoration process, now won't turn back on. What can I do myself to fix this? Thank!

    In short, I was accidentally restoring/resetting my 1st generaton iPod Touch and I wanted to quickly get out of that, so I rebooted as you all know is that I held the Sleep and Home buttons together, and now, it doesn't want to turn on at all! When I try to turn on, only the "Apple" symbol appears ad disappears, goes back off, no power, after a few seconds. Any heard of this or experienced something similar? Anyone know any tricks if so? And, no, I have no time to go to AppleCare, especially since it's an outdated, 1st genration iPod Touch, and for that I feel no need to make an urgent appointment to them. I appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How to transfer music received from home sharing onto my ipod touch, 4th gen?

    I've recently upgraded to itunes 11. I homeshared some songs from my sister, she did the same and it worked with her (she has an iphone 4) The songs are appearing in my music library but not under the tab 'on this ipod'. I have started to erase and sync hoping that that will add the new songs.
    *All of these songs have been acquired legally and bought from the iTunes store with a store gift card* just in case anyone thought there may be a problem with files and the likes.

    For anyone out there you wants to know, I have figured it out. In a lengthy round-about way...
    If anyone else is having this problem where the 'add music' or 'sync music' button is not appearing in itunes and as long as the music is in the main library in itunes. Simply erase and sync. Nearly had a heart attack when itunes said it was downloading only a total of 299 songs, but it has corrected itself and I'm not happy!

  • Wifi not working - iPod touch 4th gen.

    Hi, recently I have been experiencing difficulty joininh my home wifi on my iPod touch 4th gen. I have turned my iPod off and then on again three times, reset the network settings twice and checked the wifi works on other devices, please help! Has this happened to anyone else?

    Does the iPod Touch see your home Wi-Fi network?  If so, what happens when you try to connect to it?  Does you have security enabled on the router/modem such as WEP or WPA/WPA2?
